Far too often when people discuss God, they ignore His justice and judgement and only emphasize His love. This is dangerous, for God’s nature is both loving and just. In fact, God’s justice and judgement are based on His love. It is God’s love for all who truly believe in and trust Him that arouses His righteous judgement to strike out against those who mistreat His followers. Furthermore, God req...

Seldom in history has there been a more urgent need for heroes of strong righteous character for our young men and women than today. We live in a time of great immortality, wickedness, injustice, oppression, and greed, a time when few individuals step up to take a stand for justice and righteousness. Daniel was born into a day like ours, an age of terrible immorality, lawlessness, and violence whe...

A victorious, conquering life is the longing of every human heart. We all want to overcome the enemies of life, enemies that seek to defeat and destroy us, enemies such as destructive passions, hostility, drug addiction, disease, divorce, financial difficulties, abuse, alcoholism, mental or emotional problems, unemployment, the loss of a loved one, or greed. No matter what the challenge is, whethe...

Every marriage vow that is not kept, every promise that is not fulfilled, every debt that is not paid, every promised prayer that is not prayed all touch on the issue of faithfulness. If there is anything humans are, it is unfaithful. And if there is anything God is, thankfully, it is faithful. This Sunday we will be looking at the difference God’s faithfulness makes in our lives. Join us as me co...

It’s a shame when words that have strong spiritual connotations become part of the slang language of a culture. Take the word “holy,” for instance; and think of all the ways it’s used that detract from its original meaning: “holy cow,” “holy smoke,” “holy mackerel, ”holy roller.” I can’t image what “holy” has to do with most of those words. All i know is that when an important word like “holy” is...

A change of leadership always requires adjustments. The children of Israel experienced this with King Uzziah in Isiaiah 6, as we studied a few weeks ago. They also experienced it when Moses died. The book of Joshua begins with this comment. "Moses, my servant has died..." (Joshua 1:2). Joshua is waiting, he is available which makes Him usable. All those years of Joshua’s service and trai...

God calls people to serve Him. Just think who it is that calls us to serve Him: the Lord Himself, the great God and Savior who created the universe and sustains everything throughout the universe. It is the sovereign Lord who actually stoops down and offers us the wonderful privilege of serving Him. This should excite us. It should stir us to seek God’s call, to seek God’s hand upon our lives. Eve...

If you were to ask me, “Pastor Danny, why does CCW exist?” my reply would be, “CCW exists so that you might know God.” And when we know God, we want to share God with everybody we know. In fact, that is the purpose of man’s existence. For us to live our life apart from the knowledge of God is for us to be useless individuals. It does not matter what else you do because it won't matter for ete...

We'll begin our new series on Knowing the God We Love. Have you ever had a person come along and put his arm around you and say, “Cheer up, things could get worst.” That’s a lot of comfort! One fellow said, “I cheered up and sure enough, things got worst!” These are the things people say when they don’t understand who God is. But there are times when you, as a child of God, will find yourself...

Ruth 3 is a quiet chapter filled with bold faith. In the stillness of night, Ruth makes a courageous move—guided by wisdom, humility, and deep respect. She approaches Boaz not with demand, but with dignity, risking rejection to follow God’s greater plan. Her actions were strategic and Spirit-led, a reminder that God works through both quiet moments and bold steps. Boaz sees her worth, honors her f...

A study on the Book of Ruth!

When the apostle John called Christ, the Word or the Logos, in John 1:1; 1 John 1:1; and Revelation 19:13, he used a term that had great significance in the Greek culture of the Mediterranean world. In their society with many gods, the god who created the world was above all the rest. Since John was clearly giving Jesus credit in creating the world, he was proclaiming Jesus to be the most high God...

This Sunday we are going to learn about the proper fuel for the spiritual life. Prayer supplies the energy needed to wear our spiritual armor and wield our sword. We cannot fight spiritual battles in our own strength running on our own human efforts. We have to rely on prayer. We are to ask our Heavenly Father for the things we need. God has what we need (Psalm.24:1), and has said He will provide...

This Sunday we will continue with part two of the message, The Sword of the Spirit. Because the spiritual battle is real, we need to learn how to use the sword. All Christians possesses it. We have God’s Word and the Holy Spirit of God. Together these make the Bible our offensive weapon against the enemy. The only question is -- Do we know how to use it? This depends on how diligently we study the...

The last piece of the Christian’s armor is the Sword of the Spirit. Paul expresses what is needed for the believer to overcome Satan and his hosts when he says to take “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”, Ephesians 6:17. One old saint said the Bible is “an armory of heavenly weapons, a laboratory of infallible medicines, a mine of exhaustless wealth. It is a guidebook for every roa...

This Sunday, we will be looking at how the Mind of Christ can protect us in our spiritual battles we will face as we walk through this world. The mind is the primary battlefield in spiritual warfare; it is the gateway for information that leads to thoughts, decisions, and behavior. Our only defense is to have the benefit of a mind that has lived in and conquered the temptations of this world. The...

This Sunday, we will take the fourth piece of armor, the shield of faith. ”Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one” (Ephesians 6:16). This piece of armor defends us against one of Satan’s oldest tricks - creating doubt in God Himself. If Satan can get us to doubt God and His Word, then we have nothing in which to put our fai...

In Paul’s day, Roman solders wore hobnailed sandals. Think of modern golf, football, baseball, or soccer shoes that have cleats on the bottom for traction. These sandals allowed the soldier to be sure-footed in battle. So Paul used that image of the sure footed Roman soldier as a picture of the Christian who is properly shod in preparation for spiritual warfare. This Sunday we will look at the sho...

It is true that we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places (Ephesians1:3). He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think (Ephesians.3:20). We can be filled with the Spirit of God and all His might (Ephesians 5:18). We may have all those resources, the very truth of God in our hearts, and be doing His good works, but that does not mean the Chris...
